did anyone notice that zara is starting to copy BoO with super slim fit shirts that have a box pleat in the back? These shirts are even slimmer than BoO. I tried one on tonight, and the XXL is too slim for me (fits in the chest, but tight under the arms and in the back. Ppl looking for slim fit shirts might want to check them out, they have a whole bunch on sale for $29

I tried on a few while I was in NYC last week, and I'm not sure if I tried any box-pleat ones, but the fit seemed closer to Dior to me on the ones I tried. Very tapered sleeves, slim chest, but too wide in the shoulders for me, and kind of too much fabric on the upper-arm for my skinny biceps (which I don't have a problem with in my size small BofO shirts). I would have really liked them but the shoulders were a deal breaker for me, 'cause they literally stuck out.

Would someone be able to pick a size small of the box pleated shirts up for me in white or off-white?

Please PM me...

that store has so many white shirts..
though when i was there the pleated shirts were like $59, and only in L and XL so I didnt try them on. have they gone on sale since then?

and i also agree, for my arms, the upper sleeves are unecessarilly baggy in zara shirts.

I don't exactly have the world's most impressive guns or anything, but damn, guys. My problem with Zara's extra-slim-fit shirts has always been that they're skintight in the upper arms.

I would agree as well. The slimmer ones are really tight in the tricep area.

I bought one of these a month or two ago for $59 with purple/white vertical stripes, epaulets, and attachments on the end of the sleeves that pulled up the part of the sleeve covering the tricep. I have a slender rectangular body type and I'm very satisfied with the fit: close but not restricting. That being said, I could easily imagine it being too tight for a lot of people.

I forget what size I own (either S or M), but I try to get some measurements up for those who were interested.

drizzt3117: Did they have a lot of white or black solid shirts in Small? You probably won't recall, but I'm just curious.
